How long do you expect to live?

[conuly]

Seriously, how long? The average life expectancy is, what, 80 years?

365.25 x 80 = 29220

29,220 days. That's all the time in the world we've got.

I'm 21. I've only got about 21,000 days left. That's not very many. That is, in fact, a very small number when counting days.

Life is so very very short when you stop thinking in terms of years, and yet, people still insist on wasting their time getting angry over little things. Somebody yells at you in the street, another person forgets to say thank you. Why get mad? Do you really have the time? I don't think so. If you're going to get angry, get angry over something important and make it useful. You don't have the time to do otherwise.

Feel better?

Not really, because "cream" is part of my anti-spam rule to try and catch at least some of it before it goes into my inbox, which means this comment went right to my trash... so now I'm seething over how much I loath all the spammers.

But, thanks for the casein.
